Other Information

Lincolnshire County Council has implemented a Modified Dynamic Purchasing System (MDPS) to support the Council and its Maintained Schools to procure Apprenticeship Training in accordance with both the Education and Skills Funding Agency Rules and the Public Contract Regulations 2015. Award of contracts through this MDPS has been via one of 2 methods. 1. Suppliers on the MDPS are invited to submit Delivery Plans for each apprenticeship framework or standard they are accredited to deliver. The Council shall evaluate to ensure that the submission meets with the minimum quality standard of 70/100. All submissions meeting or exceeding this quality standard shall be added to the Council's Catalogue of Apprenticeship Provision. Council Staff, Maintained Schools and other partners included within the scope of the procurement will then perform desk based evaluations — evaluating Price and Quality to determine which Apprenticeship Training Programme is the most economically advantageous offer. 2. Suppliers are be invited to submit responses to further competitions issued through the MDPS, and the specific contract will be awarded to the supplier offering the most economically advantageous Tender. Further information on the award process, including award criteria and sub criteria for both processes referred to above is included within the Procurement Documents. Whilst the MDPS has been set up to facilitate the procurement of apprenticeship training for Lincolnshire County Council and its maintained schools, the MDPS is available to other local council ie County, Metropolitan, City, District, Borough Council or a Unitary Authority, NHS Trust or organisation and fire and rescue public sector organisations within the East Midlands, East of England and Yorkshire.

The total estimated annual contract value is 2 000 000 GBP amounting to 10 000 000 GBP for the initial five year period, extending to 20 000 000 GBP if the additional 5 year extension is used. Lincolnshire County Council and it’s maintained schools attracts an annual levy of around 1 000 000 GBP/annum. The additional amount accounted for in this procurement is to facilitate contract awards of the other organisations included within the scope of the procurement.
